“…With regard to the 6 dimensions of smart city, only [21] defined a model with corresponding indices in an attempt to assess urban intelligence. Finally, [22] focus on a specific smart city class (the Digital City) and defined an assessment framework for ICT efficiency (connectivity, accessibility and communicability).…”

Smart cities have attracted an extensive and increasing interest from both science and industry with an increasing number of international examples emerging from across the world. However, despite the significant role that smart cities can play to deal with recent urban challenges, the concept has been criticized for being influenced by vendor hype. There are various attempts to conceptualize smart cities and various benchmarking methods have been developed to evaluate their impact. In this paper the modelling and benchmarking approaches are systematically compared. There are six common dimensions among the approaches, namely people, government, economy, mobility, environment and living. This paper utilizes existing smart city analysis models in order to review three representative smart city cases and useful outcomes are extrapolated from this comparison.

“…Curitiba is a city widely recognized for its innovation work within sustainable urban development and was awarded the Global Sustainable City Award 2010. More recently, it was ranked top in the Brazilian Index of Digital Cities (Duarte et al 2014) and has started to develop a collaborative smart city programme. The local municipality of Curitiba has established Curitiba Collaborates which aims to promote collaboration, innovation, and development of the creative economy through the use of technology to address local challenges (SmartGov 2017).…”

“…It is a set of articulated actions under the leadership of the Curitiba Secretariat of Information Technology with the objective of creating an ecosystem which supports the use of technology and innovation to engage citizens in solving public problems and to support the creative economy (SmartGov 2017). Smart City initiatives in Curitiba are build upon the city's previous work on digital infrastructure and use of data (Duarte et al 2014). The city pioneered low-cost solutions to improving urban life through an ambitious city development plan and innovative public-private partnerships, first led by the city mayor Jaime Lerner elected in 1971 (New Internationalist 2018).…”

This paper analyses leadership in, of, and for smart cities. Using a multi-case study research design and Mode 2 research (based upon collaboration between a scholar and a practitioner), we explore smart city initiatives in Europe (Amsterdam, Bristol, and Milton Keynes), North and South America (Chicago and Curitiba), and Australia (Melbourne). We undertake a comparative analysis which looks at leadership through six lenses: place, purpose, person, position, process, and performance. From our analysis four modes of smart city leadership emerge: smart cities as digital government, smart cities as digital driver for economic growth, smart cities as an open platform for digital socio-political innovation, and smart cities as an open platform for digital economy.

“…The data that is used for measuring smart cities has also come under scrutiny. Often the data used to measure cities is historical [37], collected by national or international bodies and some is collected by cities themselves [38]. Data may be missing or of poor quality [39] and need to be substituted by national data.…”

As the idea of a smart city has developed over the past few decades and become commonplace, so the urge to decide which cities are smarter or smartest, and the need to measure progress of cities towards increasing smartness have emerged. Measuring the functioning of cities is complex given that they consist of many intersecting systems. Many different measures have been proposed, tested, and in some cases, implemented. This array of measures results in confusion for researchers, policy makers and city management. This review of the academic and practitioner literature, as well as web sites, identified and examined fifty-three different measures for cities. The characteristics of these measures were analysed based on information available from desktop research. Four types and twelve sub-types of smart city measures were identified. From this analysis, a taxonomy of smart city measures is presented. The potential uses of each subtype within the taxonomy are discussed.
